She discusses using her observations of children as they play to help plan activities that support them to learn and make progress. She understands the importance of working in partnership with parents to provide a consistent approach for children.  The childminder discusses arrangements for encouraging young children to learn about and lead healthy lifestyles. For instance, she plans to provide children with nutritious meals and regular opportunities to be outside.

The provision meets requirements

There were no children present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
